IMPROVEMENT IN HEATING-STOVES.

Specilicaton forming part of Letters Patent No. 153,356, dated July 2l,1874; application filed February 2, 1874.

To all whom it may concern.'

Be it known that we, GEORGE W. LovE, of Chippewa Falls, in .the countyof Chippewa and State of Wisconsin, and JAnms E. PRU- DEN, of Lake City,in the county of Vabashaw, in the State of Minnesota, have invented anImprovement in Heating-Stoves, of which the following is a specication:

The nature of this invention relates to improvements in that class ofheating-stoves designed for burning wood more especially, although saidimprovements are equally valuable in coal-burning stoves; and theinvention consists in placing near the top of a stove deilecting ringsdivided by a partition, a damper, and a removable wall, the wholeconstructed and arranged as more fully hereinafter set forth.

Figure l is a perspective ofthe improved stove. Fig. 2 is a verticalsection through the center. Fig. 3 is a cross-section on a line justabove the bottom of the combustion-chamber. Fig. 4 is a plan of thebottom plate of the stove, showing the openings for draft, and damper toregulate the same. Fig. 5 is a cross-section on the line m w, showingthe lower deflector, the smoke -passages in the same, the damper, andthe partition. Fig. 6 is a like view on the line y y, showing the upperdeflector, the partition, and the exit-flue.

Like letters indicate like parts in each iigure.

Near the top of the stove are secured deflecting-rings h, one aboveanother, the lower one being provided with two openings, divided by thepartition k. One of these openings is provided with a damper, m., soarranged as to be operated from the outside of the stove, and, when thisdamper is opened, a direct draft is obtained into the exit-flue a.

When the damper is closed, the smoke passes through the fellow openingon the other side of the partition, clear around to the exit-flue. Thespaces between these dee'ctors are converted into circular lues by meansof the circular walll I, which is designed to slip in and form an innerwall to such ues.

This circular wall may be inserted in such a way that it may be removed,in orderto clean out the dues, it' required.

These circular lues, by obstructing the draft, compel the products ofcombustion to radiate the greater part of their heat before reaching theexit-Hue.

What we claim as our invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is-

In combination with a stove, the deflectingrings It, damper m, partitionk, and removable wall I, constructed and arranged substantially asdescribed, and for the purposes set forth.
